But today, on Freakonomics Rad, we ask this: how real is that rich gay stereotype? Okay, so the qutn we’re tryg to answer today seems pretty simple: why are gay men affluent?

That, of urse, prum that gay men are more affluent, so we should probably start there. For gay male upl, meanwhile, median hoehold e is…$105, 600, or nearly 20 percent more.

ARE GAY MEN REALLY RICH?

So Danny Rosa seems to be right – gay men do seem to earn more.

THE HIGH PRICE OF BEG A GAY COUPLE

She says appears that gay men tend to have higher-than-average tn levels. Lee BADGETT: One possibily is a gay person says, well, I know I’m gog to face some stigma and discrimatn the labor market, maybe my bt fense agast havg an e disadvantage is to get a lot of tn.

THE ST OF BEG GAY

If, therefore, gay men get more tn, that would go a long way toward explag why they earn more.

Are there big differenc between how a gay uple and a straight uple spend their money? Dan BLACK: The hierarchy sort of go heterosexual upl, lbian upl, followed by gay male upl. And only 10 percent of gay male upl are raisg a child.

BADGETT: The most important thg to know is that is actually pretty hard to get good data on lbian, gay and bisexual people.

So one problem is that not everyone who’s lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr is gog to say so when a stranger wh a Cens form knocks on their door.

DUBNER: Okay, so if the Cens don’t ask directly about sexual orientatn, how do we know what we’ve been tellg you about – that, for stance, gay upl earn about 20 percent more than straight upl? And obvly that’s a sub-sample of gay people as a whole. It’s a sub-sample bee not all gay people are partnered, and ’s also a sub-sample bee not all partnered gay people would want to disclose that to the cens.
